Ozzy Osbourne’s Latest Song ‘Gods Of Rock N Roll’ Debuts on Billboard Charts Early
The Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, has been a prominent figure in the music industry ever since his days as the frontman for Black Sabbath. Now, at the age of 76, he’s still creating music despite his ongoing health struggles. One of his latest projects, titled “Gods of Rock N Roll,” has already made waves by landing on the charts prior to its official release, leaving fans questioning how this feat could have been achieved.
The song, “Gods of Rock N Roll,” has yet to be officially released, but it has managed to garner attention due to its previous appearance on Billy Morrison’s album, God Shaped Hole, back in 2015. This time around, an orchestral version of the track featuring guitar work from Steve Stevens made its debut on SiriusXM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard channel. The song quickly gained momentum, climbing to No. 26 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and piquing the interest of fans eagerly anticipating its full release.
Scheduled to be part of Morrison’s upcoming project, The Morrison Project, “Gods of Rock N Roll” is set to be officially released on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. Fans can also look forward to a deluxe edition of the project that includes the track, with vinyl copies available starting March 7th. With its early success on the charts, there is a palpable sense of anticipation surrounding the song’s release.
In a nostalgic move, Ozzy Osbourne announced that he would be retiring from touring following the final show of Black Sabbath, set to take place on July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. This event marks the end of an era for the band that has played a pivotal role in shaping the heavy metal genre over the past five decades.
Throughout the band’s tumultuous history since its formation in 1968, they have experienced multiple breakups and reunions, with Osbourne himself being ousted at one point due to struggles with substance abuse. Despite these challenges, fans eagerly await the opportunity to see Ozzy take the stage once more, especially after he decided to step back from touring to prioritize his health. His wife, Sharon Osbourne, has confirmed that the July show will indeed be his final performance, adding an emotional layer to this significant moment in music history.
